To get the most out of your purchase, be sure to read this manual carefully. • Be sure to keep all user documentation handy for future reference. Warning! • The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonable representations only. • The Moon phase indicator and tide graph data that appear on the display of this watch are not intended for navigation purposes. Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data for navigation purposes. • This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of tidal movements only. E-1 Keep the watch exposed to bright light l l l l l l l l l l l Bright Light Solar cell The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is stored by a rechargeable battery. Leaving or using the watch where it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as possible. • When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist, position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright light. • You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is covered only partially. • The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will result in some watch functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it exposed to light as much as possible. Battery charges in the light. Solar cell (Converts light to electrical power.) Battery discharges in the dark. Bright Light Electrical energy LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 All functions enabled LEVEL 3 Charge LEVEL 4 LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 Dis- LEVEL 3 charge LEVEL 4 Some or all functions disabled Rechargeable battery E-2 E-3 • The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model. • Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging. The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a single illumination operation. Approximately 5 minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window Approximately 8 hours exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting • Be sure to read “Power Supply” (page E-42) for important information you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light. If the display of the watch is blank... If the display of the watch is blank, it means that the watch’s Power Saving function has turned off the display to conserve power. • See “Power Saving Function” (page E-58) for more information. E-4 E-5 About This Manual • Depending on the model of your watch, display text appears either as dark figures on a light background or light figures on a dark background.

Note that this watch features a “Full Auto EL Light”, so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain level. It does not turn on the backlight under bright light. Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on. • Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist. Parallel to ground More than 40° Warning! • Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the display of the watch using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not startle or distract others around you. • When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned off before riding a bicycle or operating a motorcycle or any other motor vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury. To turn the auto light switch on and off In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down B for about three seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch on indicator displayed) and off (auto light switch on indicator not displayed). • The auto light switch on indicator is on the display in all modes while the auto light switch is turned on. E-40 E-41 Power Supply This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a rechargeable battery that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging. Solar cell Example: Orient the watch so its face is pointing at a light source. • The illustration shows how to position a watch with a resin band. • Note that charging efficiency drops when any part of the solar cell is blocked by clothing, etc. • You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if the face is covered only partially. Important! • Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause rechargeable battery power to run down. Be sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible. • This watch uses a rechargeable battery to store power produced by the solar cell, so regular battery replacement is not required. However, after very long use, the rechargeable battery may lose its ability to achieve a full charge. If you experience problems getting the rechargeable battery to charge fully, contact your dealer or CASIO distributor about having it replaced. • Never try to remove or replace the watch’s rechargeable battery yourself. Use of the wrong type of battery can damage the watch. • All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 (pages E-44 and E-45) and when you have the battery replaced. • Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-58) and keep it in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to keep the rechargeable battery from going dead.

All functions disabled. • The flashing LOW indicator at Level 3 tells you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible. • At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings. • The watch’s Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery drops to Level 5. If you are using the watch outside of the Tokyo, Japan time zone, you will need to change the Home City code setting to match your location whenever this happens. • Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2. • Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes. E-44 E-45 lll ll l l l l lll lll l ll ll ll lll lll l l lll Recover indicator • Performing illumination, or beeper operations during a short period may cause (recover) to appear on the display. Illumination, alarm, countdown timer alarm and hourly time signal will be disabled until battery power recovers. After some time, battery power will recover and (recover) will disappear, indicating that the above functions are enabled again. • If (recover) appears frequently, it probably means that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to charge. Charging Precautions Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery. Also note that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature. Warning! Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods. • On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight • Too close to an incandescent lamp • Under direct sunlight E-46 E-47 Charging Guide The following table shows the amount of time the watch needs to be exposed to light each day in order to generate enough power for normal daily operations.

Occurs a few days before and after a New Moon and Full Moon. Intermediate Tide Medium difference between high tide and low tide. • The segments on either end of the Tide Graph flash during high tide. Neap Tide Small difference between high tide and low tide. Occurs a few days before and after the first quarter and last quarter of a half moon. Lunitidal Interval Theoretically, high tide is at the Moon’s transit over the meridian and low tide is about six hours later. Actual high tide occurs somewhat later, due to factors such as viscosity, friction, and underwater topography. Both the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until high tide and the time differential between the Moon’s transit over the meridian until low tide are known as the “lunitidal interval”. llll High tide Low tide E-54 E-55 Graphic Area Button Operation Tone The information shown in the graphic area depends on the current mode.

In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes. • The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099. • The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced. • The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is calculated in accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for each city, based on your Home City time setting. When you enter the World Time Mode or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first. World Time If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting screen (with a flashing setting) is on the display, the watch will exit the setting screen automatically. Scrolling The B and D are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls at high speed. The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode. E-60 E-61 Illumination Precautions • The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use. • Illumination may be difficult to see when viewed under direct sunlight. • The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction. • Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds. • Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery. Auto light switch precautions • Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature. More than 15 degrees too high • Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground. • Illumination turns off after a preset amount of time (1.5 or 3 seconds), even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face. • Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again. • Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the auto light switch. • You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
